ATHENS) NO V. i r. We have been informed by a person and fit from MilkVgeville, that Gen. }J . B. Mitchtli is ekdted Governor. The voice of the people has never been more audibly exprtfled chan nr the recent elections. In every Jdftion of the union where they J ‘°t been held* they have eventua v ted in ths r humph of the republi cans. To demrnfhare this we fiv.U curfor'ly enumerate the vari ous refuhs. With regard to iJ Ehode-Ehnd the accounts are cca r.radisbory; each file claiming a majority in the leg’/hture. But k is agreed by the federahfts, that there is a cor.ftderahle acctflion of republican members chofen. In Connecticut more republican mem bers are like wife elected than there were in the lad Affembly. In Ver mont the triumph isdecifive in ev £££ department of eke government, proj) the branches of the legifiature . cidedly republican ; and a re bnncirdcan governor is cho fen in lieu of a federalift. It New-Jcrfey,’ both hotifes of the Aflkmbly are de cidedly, republican, the republican maj rity. of members b o ig g-eater than in the laft legislature. In To only ‘ vank, not a fifth of the mem bers of the leg;nature are federal.- In Delaware the federal party is Splitting to pieces, and though her iTembLy kill remains federal, the votes given at the late ek&ion evince a great republican gain. In Maryland, in fpite of the mightieft efforts, the houfe of delegates has been rdcued from federalifm, and ir. now republican by a confiierable majority, the confequence of which is that the government in all its de partments 53 republican. In Ken tucky, Ten nr Ode & Georgia re jiublivanilm has triumphed, as is invariably the pafe, without oppofi tlon. We have thus eftabliihed the fail, that in all the recent elections rcpublicanifm has gained a victory. Tills victory ns ay well be viewed as brilliant, when ir is remarked chefe eiecHons embrace ten Bates out of the ieventeen that make up the con federacy, and all the hates, except ing two, in which feckrallfm has the 1 raft chance of force ft, in both which Hitts there are the ftrongdl indica tions of a complete republican af cendencv at the enfulng deft ions. A t prefsnt at leaft eleven, perhaps twelve, of the Hate governments are republican, and there is a probabili ty that in a few months fourteen will be fo. Well then may the friends of lib erty in the United States laugh at the empty boafts of their adverfaries, and at their alarming predictions.—• The whole have vamfhed into air.— The almoft univerfality of their de feat proves that the great body of rhe people are againft them ; and it proves more-—it proves that the people of this country are too fixed in their principles to permit their enemies to profit by its misfortunes. It is this that the oppofiticn has cal culated upon; they flattered them felves that they would reap a rich harvtft fiom the in juft ice of foreign governments. But they have been woefully difappoinred, and their diftp point men t refled: the higheft: honor on the virtu i of the people. In this commanding attitude of victory we are gratified at the dig n-y and temperance of clilcuffion f! generally cbaraftcrife the re- I bfit an prints, w hich prefects a happy central-; with the virulent indecency or contemptible crlmina tion of a few of the federal papers* Some of the He Utter are too humble for notice; but with the exception of thefe 1: is gratifying to perceive that the chief infl'ruments of po!lei - cal clamor at prefenr are a few edit ors, whole hopes of political honor or emolument are totally blafted, and whole only refource to gain ary kind of cnftir.chon is by inflaming the people. But becaufe fuch men violate every dictate of decency and habitually (port with truth, cr pompoufly dilate upon topics long fince either fettled or cor.figned ea oblivion, does it follow that the re publican prints ought r.o defeend to their level and expole themfelves to all the difad vantages arifmg from unacquaintance with weapons in the • ufe oi which their adverfaries are fo expert. It were unjuft: to extend this re mark to all, cr even the greater part of the federal prints. Many or them, a: this very time, are guided by far different principles. Indeed tiie oppofttion is at prefent fo lan guid, that in naming half a dozen prints we (hould perhaps enumerate all rhofe, to whom belong the proud faafaflion of keeping, without caufe, the fire of party alive. National Intelligencer . By the fhip Sufan, Capt. Delano, cr rived at New-York, It was reported at Amfterdam, that a peace had been concluded between Auftria and France j but the report was not generally be lieved, though this event had been expected ever lince the termination of the artniftice. Some difficulties had occurred in the negotiations, and there was a probability at one time, of the recommencement of hoftilities—and, indeed, fuch is the nature of our advices by this arri val, that it is extremely difficult to determine whether there will bes peace or a continuation of war be tween thefe two nations. Capr. Delano Ts the bearer of difpatches from Mr. Arm ft rong, which were fent from Paris by ex prels, and which reached AmHer ein m on the 14th of September, th.e day before rhe Sufan failed.— He a)fo brings out difpatches from the U. States’ Schooner Enter prize, lieuc. Tripp, which veil'd was to fail for rhe U. States, in a botk fourteen days after the Sufan.

Cape. Ingle*, informs us, that two pilot beat fchooners, difpatched from New-York, after landing paf fengers on the coaft of England, arrived at Liverpool on the tenth of September, bringing the fir ft account of the renewal of the A merican non-intercoufe, which had a very fericus eff.Ct upon the markets for American produce.- Cotton role from feventeen pence to twenty-four and a half; wheat from thirteen to nineteen (hillings (terling j and other articles .in pro portion.
